Honestly speaking, I’m not the number one fan of Rolex timepieces. I mean I really appreciate the value of the brand on the market and I do consider it a cult in the horology realm. Only that my nature is a bit more classy and romantic if you wish. Therefore, my watch collection predominantly includes a couple of Patek Philippe replica watches, a pair of Breitling replicas, and an A. Lange & Sohne Saxonia Thin replica.
Like many of you, I hope one day to have the same collection, but in its authentic version. Since I can’t afford it for now, replica alternatives totally satisfy my needs, especially those that are Swiss-made and AAA-grade. The truth is that I have “tested” some cheap replica watches as well. I can’t say that they were awful, but they didn’t provide the durability and high quality that the Swiss replicas do.
As for the Rolex timepieces, I came across many occasions to have one. But, every time I did, I opted for an Omega replica instead, since these somehow suited me better at that moment.
Sometimes…
It seems like Rolex is constantly avoiding me, or vice versa. Sometimes, Rolex watches that I find don’t really fit the trend, sometimes, they don’t fit the occasion. As a result, I always get another watch, but not Rolex, even though I do embrace the idea of having one in my collection. Although it is not my number one brand, I believe any self-respecting watch enthusiast has to own one. Be it a replica version, but he has to own one. Otherwise, he cannot name himself a watch enthusiast.
What I do know for sure is that I will have them in my collection. And not only one watch, but 3. This is because I found three models that I constantly “scan” and each time I do, I am amazed by their technical and design potential. The three models remain actual, regardless of the modern trends.
Perhaps, the incidental delay of having a Rolex is actually, not incidental at all. It might sound crazy, but it seems like the Universe deliberately stalls until I find the right models. And I feel like I found them.
You don’t need to be a number 1 fan to own a Rolex
Having a Rolex watch in your collection is like owning a BMW in your Mercedes collection. You might be fond of the power and comfort that your Mercedes cars provide, but you can never neglect the visor and energy of a BMW. So, it is never odd in the car collection, just like a Rolex watch is never odd in the timepieces collection. In such a context, you should never say goodbye to a Rolex watch.
If you, just like me, are more prone to other watch brands, it means that it’s not the time for a Rolex yet. But, keep “scanning”. You will probably come across a model that will become irresistible to you. Further on, I share my irresistible models. As mentioned before, I look at them for quite a long time, and I can’t see any reason why I shouldn’t choose them.
Rolex Sea-Dweller 16600 replica watch
This is the first model on my wishlist. There is more I can say: if anyone asked me to choose one single model from the entire Rolex collection, it would be the Sea-Dweller 16600. And I’m completely aware that this watch is far from being the latest model released by the brand. But, my admiration for it is connected to a previous experience that I had a couple of years ago.
My close buddy, who is a seasoned Rolex fan, offered me the possibility to put some of his best models on my wrist. This was when we were heatedly discussing the technical aspects of Rolex and Audemars Piguet replica watches. I didn’t tell my buddy, but only when I put the Sea-Dweller replica on, there was an instant spark between me and the watch. It simply “fused” with my wrist, providing comfort that I never felt before. I could observe that its case was slightly thicker in comparison to the Submariner. And I found it perfect for my wrist.
The Swiss replica was a 1:1 imitation and it reproduced the exact size, shape, and weight of the authentic model. And I have to say that the design of the bracelet and the case were perfectly manufactured, making it amazingly easy to wear. The dial and bezel form a phenomenal symbiosis and confer the essence of a dice watch. On top of this, the Swiss-made caliber performed and still performs splendid accuracy and precision.
Rolex Milgauss 116400GV replica watch
As I recently found out, the model was first presented to the audience in 2007. Some might say that fresher models look better and promise higher performance. But, for me, this model has a particular appeal that somehow is lacking in other iterations. I find it dynamic and vivid due to its color combination. The orange lightning-bolt second hand adds a sort of vigor and bounce, even though some watch fans might find it “outlandish”. I could notice the model among the other Submariner, GMT-Master II, and Sea-Dweller replicas that my friend presented to me. And I believe that this is the definition of a great watch: to stand out from the monotony of the other models.
According to my way of thinking, a good watch must have that noteworthy appeal, be it the comfort it provides, or the unconventional design. So, Millgaus is all about unconventional design. The black dial pairs stunningly with the orange accents. In addition, the slightly green sapphire crystal confers a specific intensity to the whole look. And let’s accept it: not every watch features “intensity” in its “construction”. To me, this is a great option when you want or need an iconic model, a winning design, and a statement piece.
Rolex Datejust 16014 replica watch
The third piece from my wishlist is the Datejust, the unrepeatable Datejust. I embrace this collection due to its impressive formal charisma. And I simply adore formal timepieces. Actually, this model is at the border between formality and casualty. The stainless steel bracelet still preserves a versatile style, while the dial is minimalist and accurate, integrating perfectly into the formal framework. It is almost impossible to find shortcomings in a Swiss replica Datejust.
The alluring jubilee bracelet, along with the fluted white gold bezel is a guilty pleasure for any lover of dress watches (like me). In such a context, my friend who is a deep connoisseur of Rolex timepieces struck the final blow by presenting me with this model. I knew it would be my next Rolex replica since I resonated instantly with its modern-vintage characteristics.
Rolex replica watches prices
Obviously, I did my research regarding my dream Rolex replica watches. What I found was a huge variety of prices and quality standards. Honestly speaking, I got deeply confused because I thought I couldn’t ever make the right decision. Prices for these replica watches vary between $350 and $1300. My mind was completely puzzled asking repeatedly what was the difference and why they had such extreme prices. So, I calmed down and tried to get in-depth about the price matter.
The $1,000 replica watches actually are the best. And I’m not trying to sell you the most expensive watches. I’m just trying to explain why. These Rolex replicas come with premium quality. This means that these timepieces come with such a construction: stainless steel of 904L grade, Swiss-made caliber and movement which functions (extremely) similar to the genuine models, high-grade sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, warranty of about 2 years, and repair service at replica stores headquarters across the world. Not to mention that most of such stores offer after-sales support. So, in case your number one priority is high-quality, replica watches of about $800-$1,000 can provide you with that quality.
Alternatively…
The other price range refers to the $500-$800 margin. Such replica watches are pretty reliable, but you have to take into account some specs. Most replica dealers sell such replica watches claiming that they are Swiss-made. The truth is that the majority of them are equipped with a Japanese movement. A good Japanese movement. However, it is not Swiss. Actually, Japanese Miyota movements boast of being highly qualitative and performant. They serve loyally and provide medium-to-high functionality. Such replica watches might not always be waterproof. Most of them come in 316 stainless steel.
Generally speaking, these are pretty reliable replica timepieces. Only that you have to be prudent and reticent when a dealer sells you such a watch claiming it is Swiss-made. So, dive deeper and make sure that the watch indeed justifies its quality.
As for the third price category, the $200-$400 one, the quality might be slightly impaired, with all due respect. The mineral glass replaces the sapphire crystal, the standard movement replaces the Swiss or Miyota movement, and the polished finishing might start fading away within a couple of months. In addition, not all dealers offer a warranty for them. If they do, the warranty period is about 3 to 6 months. On top of that, the design particularities in most cases differ a lot from the genuine models.
Concluding thoughts on my wishlist
I’m not sure when, But I’m sure about which will be my first Rolex replica watch. The Sea-Dweller is the one that will break the ice. I am fond of its execution and design. But, most of all, I got passionate about the comfort it provides on my wrist. The second model to be added to my collection will be the Datejust since it completely satisfies my passion for dress watches. And as you can deduce, the third one will be the Milgauss because it is a sin lacking a vibrant and expressive timepiece. Regardless of my fashion tendencies, my selection will never change. The reason why I haven’t bought a replica Rolex yet is that I wasn’t sure about the right model. I’m not anymore. Now, I’m completely certain that these 3 pieces comfort me from any angle I look at them.
As for the prices, I opt for the Swiss-made version. I want my Rolex replicas to last as long as possible and to resemble authentic models at the highest rates possible. I don’t have the moral right to recommend you the same since I’m not familiar with your financial status. But what I can do is remind you that paying for quality is actually investing.
